Team Purpose
The purpose of the Geauga YMCA Otters Swim Team is to serve the youth of our area through a competitive swim program.
Our coaches provide a positive, supportive, and FUN environment where each swimmer can excel at their
own rate by setting goals for themselves and the team in general. Swimmers learn how to excel individually
and how to work with a team. Our season starts in late September and runs through the last Championship meet the swimmer qualifies.
The last Championship meet occurs in March. WE TRY NOT TO TURN ANYONE AWAY!
WE
WILL WORK with your swimmer but they have to be able to at least swim a couple laps freestyle(crawl) without stopping. Tryouts
help us determine which level they should enroll in.
